    As I, turn up the collar on
    My favorite winter coat
    This wind is blowin' my mind
    I see the kids in the street
    With not enough to eat
    Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
    A summer's disregard
    A broken bottle top
    And a one man's soul

    I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
    It's time that I realize
    That there are some with no home
    Not a nickel to loan
    Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
    A willow deeply scarred
    Somebody's broken heart
    And a washed out dream (washed out dream)
    They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
    'Cause they got no place to be
    That's why I'm starting with me

      @@MrSilentProtagonist This was johns trying to introduce a bit of darkness and " drama " into barry's life though and that's annoying. Barry's origin al the way to the mid 2000s was that he was inspired to be the flash because of his love of comics and superheroes, later the JSA which was why the whole Flash Family was so close with Jay Garrick and such. after he died. The new origin kinda took something from this.

    • @MrSilentProtagonist

      @@Kekkersboy The point of the Flashpoint comics is that Reverse Flash became a "living paradox". Thawne can not do anything that would prevent Barry from becoming the Flash or interfere with his legacy as the Flash as Thawne only became the Reverse Flash thanks to Flash's legacy. Thus Thawne makes Barry's life the worst that he can get away with while allowing him to eventually become the Flash. The most pivotal thing that he did was to kill Barry's mother and frame his father. Barry discovering that Reverse Flash is the one who killed his mother used time travel to save her. Reverse Flash stop being bounded by his timeline is free to kill Barry in his mother's womb if he wishes. The movie didn't address Thawne's weakness and presented Barry's decision to use time travel to save his mother as a whim.

    For me the actor that stood out above the others was C. Thomas Howell as Professor Zoom. The cold and meticulous way he phrased his every sentence came off as both intelligent and condescending which almost forced you to cling to his every word.

      He truly brought his all as Thawne/Professor Zoom. You truly felt that he had a backup plan for every occasion, every action Flash took to cause Flashpoint was truly poetic to him as Thawne is always seen as the villain, but really this was all Barry's fault and Thawne just can't help but to relish in the irony and gloated in front of Barry to point out his own hubris.

      Yeah, I agree and also Bruce hadn't grown yet so the guidance of Alfred really honed him in to have discipline and stong will. I'm not sure if Thomas had any teachings in discipline other than being a rich guy and it is very hard to learn discipline when you've already developed without it and without guidance. Another thing to add is Thomas had a double traumatic things to come from that, Bruce died and his wife became a crazed monster on the same night.

I still remember that one JLU episode where he talks to one of his villains in this criminal hangout bar and is like, "You're wearing the suit again, buddy, are you alright? Are you off your meds? You don't want to be about this life, right?" and the guy's response is just, "Yeaahhh, you're right, I'll go turn myself in. Caught me again, Flash!" and it's all smiles, humor, and wholesomeness. Forgive me paraphrasing the hell out of it, haven't seen the scene in a hot minute.

    Hope is really ultimately what boils down every true superhero. People may laugh and ridicule some cheesiness, but we need a little fun in our lives to see we can make things better. And when we get something darker like Flashpoint, it really shows no matter how bad things get, we can still have hope to make things better.

    • @CorbCorbin
      @CorbCorbin ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Except that hope didn’t help, in the Flashpoint universe. Hope without people to enforce it, is just another dream.
      Hence, Barry has to go back and let his mom die, which doesn’t get his world back. It creates a new one.
      Many cultures have no word for hope, because they believe the world/universe is indifferent to them. They know that no matter how hard one hopes, unless someone intervenes, the weak often don’t survive.
      Hope and a plan, is what one needs. Batman hopes, but he also has contingencies, for when he’s letdown, or his hopes are dashed.

    • @Rixec2
      @Rixec2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@CorbCorbin Except the Flashpoint universe was born from completely different events of another universe, hence the hope there lies in fixing things. It also serves as a metaphor for how no matter how bad things become, we can always begin anew and try to make things better. Thomas Wayne fought for the hope of bringing back a universe where his son lived.
      Yes, Barry wasn't able to get the world back exactly as it was. But it gave a new chance where there was none before in Flashpoint. We leave behind our worst days so we can make something new out of the next.
      Yes, hope and a plan are needed. But a plan is unlikely to get anywhere without the hope first to make it happen. If people think the universe is indifferent, then they'll be too apathetic to make a plan. You need hope to begin building up a plan.

    This story hits hard, as someone that lost his mom too. Those nagging feelings that if you had just done things differently, if the new skills you have now had instead been around for years prior, there would be a non-zero percent chance she'd still be around. But losing our loved ones is something we all gotta make peace with, as it will happen over and over again, until it's time for you to go as well.

      I mean literally everyone is hyping it up. James Gunn, the rich suits, and test screeners have all claimed it to be “one of the best superhero movies.” Normally, I would be skeptical because I normally don’t believe it when people who get paid to be part of the process are hyping it up. Yet, what makes me actually believe the hype is the fact DC hasn’t canned the movie even with all the Ezra Miller controversies. If the movie wasn’t good, I’m sure for “good business” they would’ve tossed the movie in the trash awhile ago. It must be liquid gold. I have high hopes it will hit the emotional beats it needs to just like the original story.

    Literally had to make me sober up in the first minute of the video to concisely get what was being said in the thesis statement, made me think of far too many stories that write self-repairing timelines where even if a deviation or different action is taken it's replaced by another equal character or action to fill the role, where causality is an inescapable consequence of existance and that any attempt to escape it leads to even more unpredictable or harsher consequences, that fate is something to accept and work with instead of refusing and fighting.

    God I love Barry. Sure he created this world out of a certain sense of selfishness. And in cases like the TV show as well as comics trying to "fix" what he did set things "right" but not 100% and he has to live with the fact that things will never be exactly as they were, but atleast better then they were before. I love the flash, I love wally, I love Jay, impulse all of them, but Barry. He has a special place in my heart maybe I just have a certain level of connection with him or idk. But Flashpoint is definitly one of my favorite movies and iverall just my favorite stories

    I feel like there's a reason for all this, something that happened to you that causes you to feel more than just the baseline of what these things want to convey, but... something personal that makes you live it. Something traumatic, but something that ultimately left you stronger. I don't know what that thing is, but whatever it may be...thank you for pushing through it. Thank you for staying long enough to give the world this beautiful channel.
    Thank you for surviving whatever made you who you are today. And I wish you the very best in life.

      I think that he had to do it the second time for a chance to make the world better instead of on a whim is worse. Constantine was punished for suggesting Barry try to make the world a better place after the Earth was ruined is bullshit. I'm more angry at the writers for laughing at us and punishing us for not liking Apokolips War. They punished us for having hope and told us it was pathetic. Constantine suffered because he thought he deserved to be but the fact that he was removed when he's the one who saved what was left is bullshit. He's the whole reason they were able to defeat Darksid at all and his's punished for trying to make the world a better place, not for himself, never for himself, but for everyone else. He was selfless! Just look at what he thought he deserved.
